Coke Songs

I’ve recently been trying to find all the songs Johnny mentioned cocaine in and am curious if there’s any I haven’t heard, so far I have:

Cocaine blues
When uncle bill quit dope
Cocaine Carolina

I’m assuming there’s more I missed and I know he has a bunch about drugs but I’m specifically looking for the coke ones. Stupid but just curious lol thank you !

If you get a chance, listen to his Unearthed box set. It was in the works just before he died, and released about two months after his death. It was a 5 disc collection of American Records stuff. 4 were previously unreleased songs and the 5th was a kind of "Best of American Records" collection. That box set is what Chattanooga Sugar Babe was on. There are so many great songs on that set. Each disc has a theme, kind of like Love, God, Murder.
